“法輪功”邪教理論前后并不統(tǒng)一，存在著明顯的邏輯矛盾。對(duì)“法輪功”邪教理論的代表性作品進(jìn)行分析，可以明顯看出，從（修訂本）《中國(guó)法輪功到》《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》，再到《北美巡回講法》，最后到《九評(píng)共產(chǎn)黨》，經(jīng)歷了“佛家氣功”，“法輪佛法”，“三件事”，“系統(tǒng)反共”等四個(gè)階段。而且強(qiáng)調(diào)的重點(diǎn)也各有不同，在“佛家氣功”階段重點(diǎn)在“傳功”，到“法輪佛法”階段重點(diǎn)轉(zhuǎn)向所謂“傳法”，到“三件事”階段重點(diǎn)又改為“講真相”等，到“系統(tǒng)反共”階段重點(diǎn)則成了所謂“鏟除邪惡政權(quán)”。盡管不同階段、不同重點(diǎn)存在著某種交叉，但基本脈絡(luò)還是清楚的。本文將循著“法輪功”邪教理論的這一演變軌跡展開(kāi)論述，敬請(qǐng)方家批評(píng)教正。
一、“法輪功”并非開(kāi)始就是邪教，“法輪功”創(chuàng)始人李洪志曾經(jīng)跟隨氣功師李衛(wèi)東、于光生練習(xí)“禪密功”和“九宮八卦功”，所以“法輪功”初創(chuàng)乃是依托氣功，用李洪志自己的話講，“法輪功”是所謂層次較高的“佛家氣功”，并且“法輪功”早期還曾在“中國(guó)氣功研究會(huì)”登記，作為其直屬功派。李洪志開(kāi)始傳功時(shí)請(qǐng)長(zhǎng)春的幾個(gè)人幫他搞了一本《法輪功》的小冊(cè)子，內(nèi)容包括“法輪功”簡(jiǎn)介、基本功法和“心性”的修煉等三部分，共約15頁(yè)，6000字左右。1992年9月在此基礎(chǔ)上又加了一些內(nèi)容，取名叫《中國(guó)法輪功》，還是一本小冊(cè)子，約13000字。之后， 1993年4月由“軍事誼文出版社”正式出版了《中國(guó)法輪功》，內(nèi)容又有較大增加，辟為四章，達(dá)到80000字。1993年12月再次由“軍事誼文出版社”出版了（修訂本）《中國(guó)法輪功》，內(nèi)容達(dá)到84000字，按李洪志自己的話講，只是“對(duì)內(nèi)容作了一些修訂，還撤掉了《法輪功章程》和《神功效果事例選登》，增加了《答疑》”，并將《法輪旋轉(zhuǎn)新天地——李洪志先生和他所創(chuàng)立的法輪功》改為《介紹李洪志先生和他所創(chuàng)立的法輪功》。
?。ㄐ抻啽荆吨袊?guó)法輪功》共分五章，第一章：“概論”，主要內(nèi)容論說(shuō)所謂氣功是史前文化，“不是我們這茬人類發(fā)明的東西”；功力是“靠‘德’這種物質(zhì)轉(zhuǎn)化來(lái)的，靠心性修出來(lái)的”；修煉可以“開(kāi)天目”，一旦“天目”打開(kāi)，就有“遙視”功能；氣功治病是“從根本上去掉病的原因”，較之醫(yī)院治病更勝一籌；“佛家氣功”與佛教沒(méi)有關(guān)系，“走的不是一條路，不是一個(gè)法門(mén)”；旁門(mén)左道、武術(shù)氣功、返修與借功、宇宙語(yǔ)、信息附體等。第二章：“法輪功”，主要內(nèi)容是論說(shuō)所謂“法輪”是“宇宙的縮影”，“法輪功是佛家功”，“法輪功”是“高層次修煉”，“法輪功”的修煉特點(diǎn)（即所謂“法煉人”、“修煉主意識(shí)”、“煉功不講方位、時(shí)間”、“性命雙修”、“不帶意念”）等。第三章：“修煉心性”，主要內(nèi)容論說(shuō)所謂“心性的內(nèi)涵”，“失與得”，“‘真、善、忍’同修”，去掉“嫉妒心”和“執(zhí)著心”，“業(yè)力”與“消業(yè)”，“煉功招魔”，“根基”與“悟性”，“清靜心”等。第四章：“法輪功法”，主要內(nèi)容是講解五套功法動(dòng)作要領(lǐng)與口訣。五套動(dòng)作包括：第一套，佛展千手法，口訣：身神合一，動(dòng)靜隨機(jī)；頂天獨(dú)尊，千手佛立。第二套，法輪樁法，口訣：生慧增力，融心輕體；似妙似悟，法輪初起。第三套，貫通兩極法，口訣：凈化本體，法開(kāi)頂?shù)祝恍拇纫饷?，通天徹地。第四套，法輪周天法，口訣：旋法至虛，心清似玉；返本歸真，悠悠似起。第五套，神通加持法，口訣：有意無(wú)意，印隨機(jī)起；似空非空，動(dòng)靜如意。前四套屬“動(dòng)功”，第五套屬“靜功”。第五章：“答疑”，主要內(nèi)容是回答“法輪功”學(xué)員圍繞“法輪”、“功法”、“心性”、“天目”、“磨難”等提出的各種問(wèn)題，諸如“法輪是啥樣的”、“打雷能不能煉功”、“什么是大根器的人”、“天目開(kāi)了是否在釋放能量”、“怎樣對(duì)待磨難”、“最初的人類是從那里來(lái)的”等。從這本書(shū)的主要內(nèi)容，也可以看出，是在講解“功法”與“功理”，重點(diǎn)放在“傳功”上面。
?。ㄐ抻啽荆├詈橹驹凇吨袊?guó)法輪功》“作者的話”中說(shuō)得很清楚：“我出山的目的主要是想把多年煉功不長(zhǎng)功的人往高層次上帶一帶，讓他們盡快開(kāi)悟開(kāi)慧，整體提高到高層次；同時(shí)也想把目前在氣功界存在的一些不好的現(xiàn)象以及從另外空間來(lái)的不好的東西給以協(xié)助澄清，使正法得到弘揚(yáng)，使氣功事業(yè)沿著正確的道路健康發(fā)展”。且不談李洪志“給以協(xié)助澄清”之類文法上的問(wèn)題，僅就他所謂“出山的目的”來(lái)看，主要還是為促進(jìn)“氣功事業(yè)”的“健康發(fā)展”。李洪志在該書(shū)“第一章：概論”中也說(shuō)：“氣功在我國(guó)源遠(yuǎn)流長(zhǎng)，有著悠久的歷史……作為正法修煉的佛道兩大家氣功，已經(jīng)公開(kāi)了許多秘傳大法。道家的修煉方法是很獨(dú)特的；佛家也有自己的修煉方法。法輪功就是佛家氣功的高層次修煉大法?！边@段話值得注意的兩個(gè)要點(diǎn)是：第一，佛、道兩大家氣功是“正法修煉”；第二，“法輪功”是“佛家氣功的高層次修煉大法”。我之所以要指出這兩個(gè)要點(diǎn)，是因?yàn)槔詈橹驹诤髞?lái)的《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》中完全否認(rèn)了自己在這里所說(shuō)的話。這一事實(shí)再次證明李洪志說(shuō)話不講信用，那怕黑紙白字，他也經(jīng)常轉(zhuǎn)臉變卦，矢口否認(rèn)。在這本書(shū)后面以“法輪功研究會(huì)”名義寫(xiě)的“附錄：介紹李洪志先生和他所創(chuàng)立的法輪功”中寫(xiě)道：“他（李洪志）為法輪功的創(chuàng)編確定了以下原則：第一，大法應(yīng)該是無(wú)私的；第二，大法具有超自然的力量；第三，大法應(yīng)該符合真、善、忍的特性；第四，大法應(yīng)當(dāng)絕對(duì)保證安全……他總結(jié)了氣功發(fā)展史上的各門(mén)派之優(yōu)劣，然后取其精華，將其揉合到法輪功里。”所謂“法輪功”的“無(wú)私”、“超自然力量”、“真、善、忍特性”、“絕對(duì)保證安全”等，事實(shí)早已經(jīng)證明是一派謊言。我要特別強(qiáng)調(diào)指出的是，李洪志前面說(shuō)“法輪功”是所謂高層次上的“佛家氣功”，這里又說(shuō)“揉合了”氣功各門(mén)派的“精華”，且不論其中的矛盾，李洪志在這里仍然肯定“法輪功”是氣功之一種，仍然沒(méi)有否定氣功，只是通過(guò)貶低一般氣功，抬高“法輪功”這種高層次上的“佛家氣功”而已。李洪志在《法輪大法義解》中說(shuō)：“當(dāng)我們第一本書(shū)《中國(guó)法輪功》寫(xiě)出來(lái)時(shí)和低層次的氣功有些方面很雷同。第二本書(shū)就是《中國(guó)法輪功》修訂本，比氣功高出很多了。我現(xiàn)在正在整理我講過(guò)的整個(gè)的法，將來(lái)寫(xiě)出來(lái)就作為指導(dǎo)我們真修的大法。在新書(shū)里許多名詞都要糾正過(guò)來(lái)”。李洪志所講的“新書(shū)”，就是后來(lái)的《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》。李洪志在《精進(jìn)要旨》之“驚醒”一文中也承認(rèn)：“而《中國(guó)法輪功》包括修訂本，那只是一開(kāi)始以氣功的方式叫人們認(rèn)識(shí)的一個(gè)過(guò)程中的東西。”顯然，他十分清楚（修訂本）《中國(guó)法輪功》與后來(lái)的《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》有根本不同，并在后來(lái)特意為之解釋，以此回答“法輪功”練習(xí)者的疑惑。
總之，無(wú)論從“法輪功”產(chǎn)生的背景來(lái)看，還是從《中國(guó)法輪功》（修訂本）的內(nèi)容，從李洪志本人的說(shuō)法來(lái)看，都清楚地表明“法輪功”在這一階段，還是從屬于氣功，盡管李洪志取了“佛家氣功的高層次修煉大法”這個(gè)動(dòng)聽(tīng)的名稱，但作為氣功之一種——“佛家氣功”的本質(zhì)沒(méi)有改變。而且李洪志所傳的重點(diǎn)也在“功法”與“功理”上面，盡管他打出了“性命雙修”的旗幟，并且也談到“提高心性”問(wèn)題，然而重心還是放在所謂“佛家氣功”的“練功”、“修命”上面。
二、1994年12月，李洪志《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》由中國(guó)廣播電視出版社出版發(fā)行，約19萬(wàn)字。從內(nèi)容上看，保留了《中國(guó)法輪功》（修訂本）前三章的內(nèi)容，但作了較大幅度的增、刪、改，后兩章被去掉?！掇D(zhuǎn)法輪》最值得注意的變化之一是增加了所謂的“論語(yǔ)”作為緒言?！掇D(zhuǎn)法輪》正文內(nèi)容共分九講，將“真正往高層次上帶人”、“不同層次有不同層次的法”、“真、善、忍是衡量好壞人的唯一標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”提到第一講中，突出了所謂“傳法度人”的目的和“真、善、忍是宇宙根本特性”的謬說(shuō)。（修訂本）《中國(guó)法輪功》第一章的內(nèi)容，在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》中被擴(kuò)充為前三講。《中國(guó)法輪功》（修訂本）第二章的內(nèi)容，除“法輪功的修煉層次”被改動(dòng)置入第一講，其余內(nèi)容擴(kuò)充為《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》第五講，增加了“奇門(mén)功法”、“開(kāi)光”、“祝由科”等新內(nèi)容。《中國(guó)法輪功》（修訂本）第三章內(nèi)容，加上第一章的“武術(shù)氣功”、“氣功治病與醫(yī)院治病”等和第二章的“意念”、“法輪周天”等，經(jīng)擴(kuò)充成為《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》的第四、第六、第七、第八、第九講。這幾講新增加的內(nèi)容比較多，譬如“灌頂”、“玄關(guān)設(shè)位”、“男女雙修”、“顯示心理”、“歡喜心”、“殺生問(wèn)題”、“吃肉問(wèn)題”、“辟谷”、“偷氣”、“采氣”、“氣功與體育”等，都是《中國(guó)法輪功》（修訂本）中所沒(méi)有的。
如果僅從上述篇目的增減變化，還看不出大的問(wèn)題，更重要是看各篇目具體內(nèi)容的變化，才能揭示出問(wèn)題所在?！罢撜Z(yǔ)”是最具有本質(zhì)性改變的一篇“奇文”，這篇緒言性質(zhì)的文章盜用孔子《論語(yǔ)》之名，一改《中國(guó)轉(zhuǎn)法輪》（修訂本）對(duì)“法輪功”以“佛家氣功”冠名的做法，改稱“法輪功”為“佛法”，文中說(shuō)：“‘佛法’是精深的，他是世界是上一切學(xué)說(shuō)中最玄奧、超常的科學(xué)……‘佛法’是從粒子、分子到宇宙，從更小至更大，一切奧秘的洞見(jiàn)，無(wú)所不包，無(wú)所遺漏。他是宇宙特性‘真、善、忍’在不同層次的不同的論述，也就是道家所謂的‘道’，佛家所說(shuō)的‘法’……‘佛法’可以為人類洞徹?zé)o量無(wú)際的世界。千古以來(lái)能夠把人類、物質(zhì)存在說(shuō)清的唯有‘佛法’”。李洪志在許多場(chǎng)合下，貶低佛教，抬高《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》。在“論語(yǔ)”中說(shuō)：“其實(shí)‘佛法’不只是經(jīng)書(shū)中的那一點(diǎn)，那只是‘佛法’初級(jí)層次的法”。《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》中說(shuō)：“佛教中的法只是佛法中的一小部分”。在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》（卷二）中，誹謗和低貶佛教的內(nèi)容就更多了，譬如“佛教的論述是佛法中最弱小的一部分”、“佛教中的教訓(xùn)”、“禪宗是極端的”等文章就赤裸裸地對(duì)佛教進(jìn)行誹謗、貶損。李洪志還將其“經(jīng)文”匯編取名為《法輪佛法經(jīng)文》，其中也有許多誹謗和貶低佛教的文章，如“佛法與佛教”中說(shuō)：“佛教代表不了佛法的全部……是偉大的佛法造就了佛，而不是釋迦牟尼造就了佛法，是釋迦牟尼悟到了佛法，證悟了自己的果位……現(xiàn)代佛教與后期的婆羅門(mén)教還相差多少？”李洪志多次說(shuō)過(guò)，后期婆羅門(mén)教已經(jīng)邪變了，因此這里將現(xiàn)代佛教與后期婆羅門(mén)教相提并論，也就是明白告訴別人現(xiàn)代佛教也邪變了。其實(shí)李洪志所了解的佛教并不是真正的佛教，而是盧勝?gòu)┑摹办`仙真佛宗”。盧勝?gòu)┓徤?，自稱“活佛”、“宗主”，臺(tái)灣人，1971年始創(chuàng)“靈仙真佛宗”，上世紀(jì)80年代移居美國(guó)西雅圖，著有《靈仙真佛宗》、《靈的世界》、《第三眼世界》、《靈仙飛虹法》、《大手印指歸》、《靈魂的超覺(jué)》等100多種書(shū)?！办`仙真佛宗”在美、加、英、日、荷、印、新、泰、臺(tái)、港等世界各地設(shè)分堂300多處，信徒據(jù)說(shuō)有200多萬(wàn)人。李洪志往泰國(guó)探望妹妹李萍時(shí)接觸了“靈仙真佛宗”，并對(duì)其中許多內(nèi)容予吸收，譬如所謂的“天目”、“大手印”等，在“靈仙真佛宗”中都能找到影子。其實(shí)“靈仙真佛宗”并非正宗佛教，佛教界人士視之為“旁門(mén)左道”。盡管李洪志自己承認(rèn)“不讀佛經(jīng)，不讀藏密”，照理他對(duì)佛教沒(méi)有權(quán)力說(shuō)三道四，然而他卻偏要信口開(kāi)河，亂發(fā)議論，其實(shí)他對(duì)佛教的貶低、損毀，目的在于抬高所謂的“法輪佛法”。李洪志在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》中說(shuō)：“在國(guó)內(nèi)外，真正往高層次上傳功，目前只有我一個(gè)人在做”。又說(shuō)：“目前全世界只有我一個(gè)人在公開(kāi)傳正法，我做了一件前人從來(lái)沒(méi)有做過(guò)的事情，而且在末法時(shí)期開(kāi)了這么一個(gè)大門(mén)”。還說(shuō)：“我揭示了一個(gè)千古之謎，絕對(duì)不能講的秘中之秘，把歷代修煉的各種修煉方法的根底都揭示出來(lái)了……我要度不了你，誰(shuí)也度不了你。”李洪志在《法輪佛法經(jīng)文》的《佛法與佛教》一文中說(shuō)：“當(dāng)今我再一次來(lái)世間佛法，而且直接傳宇宙的根本大法”。在《大法不可竊》一文中說(shuō)：“弟子們呀！我一再講大法傳給人已經(jīng)是對(duì)人的最大慈悲了。這是億萬(wàn)年從未有過(guò)的事呀！”李洪志在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》（卷二）的“佛教的論述是佛法最弱小的一部分”一文中說(shuō)：“法輪大法是把宇宙的特性（佛法）萬(wàn)古以來(lái)第一次留給了人，等于給人留下了一部上天的階梯?！崩詈橹驹凇斗ㄝ喎鸱ā谙つ嶂v法》中說(shuō)：“我做了前人沒(méi)有做的事，我開(kāi)了一扇大門(mén)，我做了一件更大的事，就是我把所有修煉的道理、圓滿的因素都講出來(lái)了，而且講得很系統(tǒng)。這就是為什么很高的神講：你給人留下了一部上天的梯子——《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》?！崩詈橹驹凇毒M(jìn)要旨》的《驚醒》一文中說(shuō)：“這部法是宇宙的特性，是偉大的佛法的真實(shí)體現(xiàn)，是我修煉開(kāi)悟后，記憶起我自己先天所有，又用常人的語(yǔ)言把他講出來(lái)，傳與你們以至天上，法正乾坤。”李洪志后來(lái)在各地的“講法”，譬如長(zhǎng)春、新加坡、歐洲、美國(guó)、瑞士、悉尼、新西蘭等地的“講法”，干脆全都冠以“法輪佛法”，只字不提“佛家氣功”了。
在李洪志看來(lái)，所有“法輪經(jīng)”中，《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》是最重要的。《法輪大法義解》中所謂“以法為師”，就是要以《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》為“師”。李洪志在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》中說(shuō)：“我這本書(shū)的內(nèi)容是把幾個(gè)班講的法合在一起的。都是我講的，句句都是我講的，都是從錄音帶上一個(gè)字一個(gè)字扒下來(lái)的，一個(gè)字一個(gè)字抄寫(xiě)下來(lái)的，都是我的弟子、學(xué)員幫助我從錄音中抄錄下來(lái)的，然后我再一遍一遍地修改。都是我的法，我講的就是這一個(gè)法”。李洪志在《精進(jìn)要旨》中說(shuō)：“就《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》而言，我自己親自修改三次后定下稿而出版的”?！斑@部法不只是人類這一層在學(xué)，更高層都在學(xué)，是因?yàn)楹艽蟮奶祗w范圍偏離了宇宙特性才正法的”。李洪志在《法輪大法義解》中說(shuō)：“其實(shí)不管再出多少經(jīng)，也都是給《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》作為輔導(dǎo)材料的，真正指導(dǎo)修煉的只有《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》。里邊包涵著從常人開(kāi)始一直到無(wú)比高的內(nèi)涵，人要你修下去，《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》永遠(yuǎn)都會(huì)指導(dǎo)你修煉提高”。李洪志在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪法解》中說(shuō)：“現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)開(kāi)印了第三本書(shū)《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》，這就是最后指導(dǎo)我們修煉的這本書(shū)了”。自從《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》出版后，李洪志特別強(qiáng)調(diào)“學(xué)法”的重要性了，當(dāng)然主要還是要求學(xué)《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》。李洪志在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪法解》中說(shuō)：“同時(shí)要掌握好這個(gè)法，我說(shuō)那就得把這本書(shū)、這個(gè)法理解透，要學(xué)法。你不要光煉動(dòng)作。你成天煉動(dòng)作了，老師講的啥都忘了，我說(shuō)你就沒(méi)法修。用什么去指導(dǎo)你呀？所以大家要多看書(shū)，把學(xué)法看書(shū)也像煉功一樣天天去做，天天去看，才能指導(dǎo)你做一個(gè)好人，你心性才能修上來(lái)，功才能長(zhǎng)上去的?！边€說(shuō)：“要想修煉，我說(shuō)就是要把法學(xué)好，我們法輪大法的《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》這本書(shū)已經(jīng)出來(lái)了，整個(gè)都是我講課的內(nèi)容，完整地把他拿出來(lái)了，所以這可以作為將來(lái)在我們這一門(mén)中修煉的依據(jù)”。李洪志在《法輪佛法——在歐洲法會(huì)上講法》中說(shuō)：“一本書(shū)就是白紙黑字，翻看來(lái)我把它看一遍就知道了。當(dāng)然人類社會(huì)的每一本書(shū)都是這樣，它只限于表面的知識(shí)，沒(méi)有什么內(nèi)涵，你看完了一遍也就明白了?？墒沁@本書(shū)不一樣，他是指導(dǎo)人修煉的，你要想在這個(gè)法中提高，就必須不斷地去看書(shū)，他才指導(dǎo)你修煉。”李洪志在《精進(jìn)要旨》中的許多“經(jīng)文”都是針對(duì)“學(xué)法”講的，譬如《博大》、《學(xué)法》、《何為智》、《糾正》、《驚醒》、《手抄經(jīng)文的處理》等?！栋輲煛分姓f(shuō)：“實(shí)修者不執(zhí)于求而自得，一切功，一切法盡在書(shū)中，通讀大法自會(huì)得之。學(xué)者自變，反復(fù)通讀已在道中?！崩詈橹咀浴掇D(zhuǎn)法輪》出版后，就特別強(qiáng)調(diào)“學(xué)法”，并將其與提高“心性”、“層次”，與“圓滿”相聯(lián)系，將所謂“修煉”的重心逐步從“煉功”轉(zhuǎn)移到了“學(xué)法”上來(lái)，將所謂的“法”與《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》劃上等號(hào)，與“師”劃上等號(hào)。
三、照理說(shuō)，《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》出版后，一切謎底都已揭曉，不該再有新的“法”，即使李洪志要講法，也只能在《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》的框架內(nèi)講，不該有突破，不該有創(chuàng)新，否則就應(yīng)當(dāng)是“邪法”。李洪志對(duì)此1996年11月2日《在法輪大法交流會(huì)結(jié)束時(shí)的講法》中說(shuō)得很清楚：“我的法已經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的全部交底了，該傳的完全都留給你們了。而且最高的已經(jīng)講的相當(dāng)高了。那么我再去講，反復(fù)去講就會(huì)起干擾作用……但是我告訴大家，真正使大家能夠修煉的就是《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》。而其他不管出多少書(shū)，都是《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》的輔助，所以我們修煉一定要把住《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》這本書(shū)去修”。然而隨著中國(guó)政府依法對(duì)“法輪功”非法組織予以取締，進(jìn)而根據(jù)其現(xiàn)實(shí)表現(xiàn)認(rèn)定其為邪教，李洪志沉默了一段時(shí)間后，又跳出來(lái)講法，但這回講的內(nèi)容與以前不同了，提出了所謂“三件事”，即“學(xué)法”、“講真相”、“發(fā)正念”。且讓我們冷靜地分析一下李洪志所謂的“三件事”是怎么出籠，又是怎么講的。
李洪志開(kāi)始提到“三件事”，主要是2001年12月29日《在美國(guó)佛羅里達(dá)法會(huì)上的講法》：“我想呢，就講這么三件事。一個(gè)是大家學(xué)法的問(wèn)題，一個(gè)是發(fā)正念的事，再有呢就是講清真相這件事情是極其重要的”。在這之前，“三件事”都是分開(kāi)講的，這里則集中起來(lái)講。而且最為關(guān)鍵的是所謂“講清真相”。前邊已經(jīng)提到，“學(xué)法”自《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》出版后一直強(qiáng)調(diào)，從未間斷?！爸v清真相”最早始于1998年7月6日的《挖根》這篇經(jīng)文，其中講到“集體向誰(shuí)反映事實(shí)情況”是“法給予最低層次人類無(wú)數(shù)的生存方式中的一種”，認(rèn)為“大法弟子在一個(gè)特殊的情況下，采用一下法在最低層次的這種方式”，是在“圓融法在人類這一層次的行為”，值得肯定。1999年6月13日的《安定》經(jīng)文中又講：“學(xué)員可根據(jù)所掌握的有關(guān)地區(qū)、有關(guān)部門(mén)直接或變相干擾破壞法輪功事件，把廣大人民與政府對(duì)立起來(lái)，從中撈取政治資本的情況，可通過(guò)正常渠道向各級(jí)政府或國(guó)家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人反映”。這其實(shí)就是對(duì)各地“法輪功”非法組織圍攻當(dāng)?shù)卣⒚襟w，甚至圍攻中央的違法行為的肯定。2000年7月20日的《各地大法學(xué)會(huì)》經(jīng)文中說(shuō)：“用和平方式向中國(guó)政府申訴我們的真實(shí)情況，這絕對(duì)沒(méi)有錯(cuò)……一年來(lái)大家本著善心向世人、向政府講明真相與善意申訴中，做得都很正……我也希望在今后的講清真相與向政府申訴的同時(shí)千萬(wàn)別忽視學(xué)法的重要性”。同年8月的《理性》經(jīng)文中要求“法輪功”修煉者要“用理智證實(shí)法、用智慧去講清真相、用慈悲去洪法與救渡世人?！蓖?月24日李洪志在《嚴(yán)肅的教誨》經(jīng)文中用十分嚴(yán)厲的口氣要求“大法弟子”一定要冒著危險(xiǎn)“走出來(lái)”，“到北京證實(shí)法”，“向人民講清真相”。在同年10月21日的《窒息邪惡》經(jīng)文中李洪志說(shuō)：“所有今天為證實(shí)大法講清真相的學(xué)員做得非常好，我對(duì)這個(gè)是做了充分肯定的，他們做得絕對(duì)得對(duì)，這是無(wú)疑義的。”同年12月9日，李洪志《在北美大湖區(qū)法會(huì)上的講法》中也花了很大篇幅講這個(gè)問(wèn)題，他說(shuō)：“不論是你走到天安門(mén)去，你在其它環(huán)境向世人講清真相，還是在國(guó)外所做的洪法、揭露邪惡的真相，都是偉大的，因?yàn)槟銈兪且粋€(gè)整體?！?br>
“發(fā)正念”是2001年才出現(xiàn)的。是年元旦，李洪志發(fā)表了經(jīng)文《忍無(wú)可忍》，其中說(shuō)：“如果邪惡已經(jīng)到了無(wú)可救無(wú)可要的地步，那就可以采用不同層次的各種方式制止、鏟除?！薄俺M邪惡是為了正法，而不是個(gè)人修煉問(wèn)題。”這時(shí)候，李洪志還沒(méi)有明確以“發(fā)正念”的方式制止和鏟除“邪惡”，但是問(wèn)題既然提出，總得想個(gè)好辦法，于是他終于想到了“發(fā)正念”這樣一個(gè)制止和鏟除邪惡的辦法。同年4月24日，李洪志發(fā)表了經(jīng)文《大法弟子的正念是有威力的》，其中說(shuō)：“邪惡在三界內(nèi)以至人間被大量銷毀……而整個(gè)大法在人間被迫害所出現(xiàn)的形式，又是因?yàn)檫@些學(xué)員有執(zhí)著因而才有被迫害的嚴(yán)重情況大量出現(xiàn)造成的……作為一名大法弟子，為什么在承受迫害時(shí)怕邪惡之徒呢？關(guān)鍵是有執(zhí)著心，否則就不要消極承受，時(shí)刻用正念正視惡人……其實(shí)大法弟子每個(gè)人都是有能力的，只是沒(méi)在表面空間表現(xiàn)出來(lái)，就認(rèn)為沒(méi)有功能。但是無(wú)論能否在表面空間表現(xiàn)出來(lái)，動(dòng)真念時(shí)都是威力強(qiáng)大的”。這是李洪志最早提到“發(fā)正念”的一篇經(jīng)文。隨后“明慧網(wǎng)”連續(xù)發(fā)表《發(fā)正念》、《再發(fā)正念》、《三發(fā)正念，根除邪惡》等文章，對(duì)“發(fā)正念”抬轎敲鑼，推波助瀾。當(dāng)年李洪志在加拿大修煉心得交流會(huì)上的講法發(fā)表后，許多法輪功人員都詢問(wèn)“發(fā)正念”的手勢(shì)，是否要分男女，是否是蓮花掌，結(jié)束時(shí)是否需要結(jié)印或合十。于是經(jīng)李洪志同意，“明慧網(wǎng)”專門(mén)登李洪志“發(fā)正念”的照片，并附文說(shuō)明：?jiǎn)问至⒄平y(tǒng)一用右手，不分男女；是否蓮花掌均可；結(jié)束時(shí)不需要結(jié)印或合十。李洪志還要求從這一年的6月10日起，“全世界大法弟子將每周一次，在固定時(shí)間內(nèi)共同發(fā)正念清除三界內(nèi)破壞大法的邪惡”。固定的時(shí)間是每周日上午5點(diǎn)、6點(diǎn)、7點(diǎn)，每次5分鐘。這一年的7月16日李洪志再次發(fā)表經(jīng)文《正念的作用》，捏造事實(shí)，編造謊言，對(duì)法輪功人員“發(fā)正念”搖旗吶喊，鼓勁打氣，他在經(jīng)文中說(shuō)：“目前邪教惡所能干壞事的地方是還沒(méi)有被正法洪大的巨變所觸及的地方，在這里正是大法弟子用正念起作用的地方”。“大家在正念除惡中確實(shí)起到了很大的作用，大量的邪惡生命被清除掉，也有的被部分清除掉，使邪惡大傷元?dú)?，在很多正法還未到的空間鏟除了邪惡，對(duì)惡人也起到了消除和震懾的作用”。
2002年4月，李洪志拋出了《北美巡回講法》，這篇三萬(wàn)字的奇文，是迄今為止最系統(tǒng)地對(duì)“三件事”進(jìn)行論述的一篇“講法”。在其“內(nèi)容摘要”中說(shuō)：“當(dāng)前三大任務(wù)：一要重視學(xué)法，為認(rèn)識(shí)法和正法奠定基礎(chǔ)。二要講清真相。講真相是使眾生擺正對(duì)‘大法’的態(tài)度，實(shí)質(zhì)上是在救度更多的甚至更大的其它的龐大天體與那天體中的生命。三要發(fā)正念，在正念中清除邪惡。正法之事不能由師父包辦，必須由大法弟子去破除舊的法”。在正文中，李洪志說(shuō)：這次講法，“主要講三件事情。第一個(gè)是大家要重視學(xué)法”，“第二件事情，就是我們要重視講清真相”，“第三件事，就是你們發(fā)正念的問(wèn)題”。李洪志說(shuō)：“學(xué)好法對(duì)每個(gè)大法弟子是至關(guān)重要?！彼桓囊郧八^“學(xué)法”只是為提高“心性”、“層次”、“圓滿”的說(shuō)法，而將“學(xué)法”與修煉者“所代表的天體”及其中的“無(wú)數(shù)和眾生”之“救渡”聯(lián)系在一起，這一來(lái)，就將“學(xué)法”所代表的“個(gè)人圓滿”向“救度眾生”轉(zhuǎn)換。李洪志特別強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“講清真相”，他說(shuō)：“大家要清楚講清真相對(duì)大法弟子太重要了。你不只是個(gè)人修煉問(wèn)題。你個(gè)人的修煉是在救渡著你自己所代表的龐大天體中的生命。你在講清真相中，你在救度著更多的甚至更大的其它龐大天體與那天體中的生命，因?yàn)檫@是大法和歷史賦予你們的責(zé)任”。李洪志同樣將“講真相”作了修改，與“救渡眾生”掛上了鉤。他還具體地講了如何“講真相”的方式，他說(shuō)：“發(fā)傳單哪，打電話，利用電腦網(wǎng)，上領(lǐng)館哪，還有的通過(guò)各種媒體形式在向世人講述著大法的真相，揭露邪惡的迫害”。談到“發(fā)正念”，李洪志說(shuō)：“發(fā)正念這件事情對(duì)我們大法弟子來(lái)講，也是一件非常偉大的事情”。他將“發(fā)正念”作為“鏟除邪惡”的最有效手段，他為此還特地講了一段天方夜譚似的故事：“大家還記得吧，在你們剛剛開(kāi)始發(fā)正念時(shí)，那些邪惡的迫害大法弟子的生命馬上排著隊(duì)，擺著陣勢(shì)，打著鼓就來(lái)了。由于大家經(jīng)過(guò)一段時(shí)間的發(fā)正念，大量清理掉了這些邪惡的因素，現(xiàn)在你們?cè)谡钪邪l(fā)出的功都得到處去找那些邪惡的東西了。大法弟子一立掌它就逃了。大法弟子能用正眼去正視惡人，惡人馬上避開(kāi)目光。因正念使操縱惡人的邪惡生命被嚇跑了，因?yàn)樗捞拥寐稽c(diǎn)將瞬間被大法弟子的正念清除掉。所以邪惡現(xiàn)在不斷地向中國(guó)的邪惡中心收縮，在全世界其它地區(qū)控制人思想的邪惡因素已經(jīng)在最后的清除中。”
總之，“三件事”中除了“學(xué)法”是一直在講的外，“講清真相”和“發(fā)正念”都是后來(lái)講的，尤其“發(fā)正念”是最新鮮的說(shuō)法。而且“學(xué)法”與“講清真相”的內(nèi)容也與前期有了根本的改變，不再是個(gè)人“圓滿”的事，而成了“救度眾生”。如果說(shuō)真的按李洪志所說(shuō)“大法已經(jīng)傳出”，除《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》外沒(méi)有其它的“法”，那么這所謂的“三件事”顯然是與《轉(zhuǎn)法輪》有所不同，是否應(yīng)當(dāng)屬于“邪法”呢？！
四、李洪志表面上講“不參與政治”，但是實(shí)際上法輪功邪教并未遠(yuǎn)離政治，而是越來(lái)越深地參與，越來(lái)越暴露其反動(dòng)政治本質(zhì)。從對(duì)新聞媒體、各級(jí)政府的圍攻，到赤裸裸地發(fā)表文章叫罵，都充分說(shuō)明了這一點(diǎn)。2000年李洪志發(fā)表了一系列所謂“經(jīng)文”，公然向中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨叫板。是年6月28日發(fā)表的《預(yù)言參考》中說(shuō)：“中共中央幾個(gè)別有用心的人利用手中的權(quán)利對(duì)大法與大法弟子開(kāi)始全面的邪惡鎮(zhèn)壓，抓人、打人、勞教、判刑、毀書(shū)、利用軍、警、特務(wù)、外交及所有的電臺(tái)、電視臺(tái)、報(bào)紙，采用流氓手段鋪天蓋地的造謠迫害，大有天塌之勢(shì)，其邪惡程度覆蓋了全世界?！崩詈橹具€在《走向圓滿》、《去掉最后的執(zhí)著》、《嚴(yán)肅的教誨》、《除惡》等所謂“經(jīng)文”，以及《在美國(guó)西部法輪大法修煉心得交流會(huì)上的演講》、《在北美大湖區(qū)法會(huì)上的講法》等文章中，公然煽動(dòng)“法輪功”修煉者要“頂著壓力”，從“放下生死”中走出來(lái)，與中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨及其政權(quán)相對(duì)抗，也就是他所謂的“揭露邪惡”、“抑制邪惡”、“除盡邪惡”。他在2001年1月1日發(fā)表的“經(jīng)文”《忍無(wú)可忍》中說(shuō)：“如果邪惡已經(jīng)到了無(wú)可救無(wú)可要的地步，那就可以采用不同層次的各種方法制止、鏟除。”李洪志并且為“法輪功”邪教參與政治進(jìn)行狡辯，他在是年6月4日發(fā)表的“經(jīng)文”《不政治》中說(shuō)：“那些反對(duì)邪惡政權(quán)禍國(guó)殃民的正義反抗者”，不是在搞政治，而是“救度世人”、“挽救眾生”。也就是說(shuō)，他不認(rèn)為“法輪功”邪教所從事的反動(dòng)政治活動(dòng)是“參與政治”。
如果說(shuō)以前政治反動(dòng)還是“猶抱琵琶半遮面”，那么2001年7月4日李洪志在《解梅花詩(shī)后三段》就干脆撕下了面紗。在這篇“經(jīng)文”中，李洪志對(duì)偽稱是宋代哲學(xué)家邵雍所作的《梅花詩(shī)》進(jìn)行曲解附會(huì)，說(shuō)什么“十年前對(duì)共產(chǎn)國(guó)家一方來(lái)講，就已經(jīng)是殘局一盤(pán)了”，“百分之九十的國(guó)家放棄共產(chǎn)主義，這對(duì)共產(chǎn)黨來(lái)講真是大難臨頭”，“共產(chǎn)黨體系解體了，但是表面卻象留了一張皮一樣被中國(guó)政府繼承”，“只不過(guò)是中國(guó)當(dāng)權(quán)者想利用共產(chǎn)黨形式維持政權(quán)而已”，“即使最佳秋色（也是黨的最后時(shí)刻）再好，秋色自然不會(huì)長(zhǎng)久”，“中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨在天上的最低空間中以紅色惡龍為表現(xiàn)形式”。在《圣經(jīng)》中，“紅色惡龍”又稱“大紅龍”，就是魔鬼撒旦。顯然，李洪志已經(jīng)喪心病狂地開(kāi)始公然咒罵共產(chǎn)黨了。2001年12月29日李洪志《在美國(guó)佛羅里達(dá)講法》中說(shuō)：“你說(shuō)共產(chǎn)黨要戰(zhàn)勝法輪功，那神怎么能干呢？共產(chǎn)黨怎么能戰(zhàn)勝宇宙的法呢？你要跟他斗，那你就必垮”。李洪志2002年4月27日《在波士頓法會(huì)上的講法》中更加肆無(wú)忌憚地說(shuō)：“那么強(qiáng)大的一部國(guó)家宣傳機(jī)器，在全世界到處都設(shè)有領(lǐng)館，有那么大的軍隊(duì)，我們面對(duì)的是這么一個(gè)要鎮(zhèn)壓我們的邪惡的流氓政治集團(tuán)”。李洪志2003年6月22日《在美中法會(huì)上的講法》中更是無(wú)所顧忌地公然將矛頭指向中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨，他說(shuō)：“XX黨從來(lái)沒(méi)有向人民認(rèn)過(guò)錯(cuò)”，“這政府不可怕嗎？難道不需要鏟除嗎？”李洪志還利用歷史問(wèn)題做文章，他說(shuō)：“中國(guó)人有一大半被XX黨迫害過(guò)。在XX黨政權(quán)建立之前，大家知道，有很多有錢人哪，被抄了家、分了財(cái)產(chǎn)，甚至被槍斃、坐牢?！?zhèn)反’、‘三反五反’、‘肅反’、‘文化大革命’，許許多多運(yùn)動(dòng)中，都迫害了人數(shù)眾多的中國(guó)人，所以總體上加起來(lái)呀，中國(guó)人有一半以上受過(guò)各種迫害?！弊詈螅詈橹久髂繌埬懙?、惡狠狠地對(duì)“法輪功”練習(xí)者煽動(dòng)說(shuō)：“XX黨政權(quán)還有存在的必要嗎？你們?cè)谡ㄟ^(guò)程中如何通過(guò)自己的努力去鏟除這一邪惡舊勢(shì)力呢？”“我們要維護(hù)常人層次上的法，就要鏟除XX黨政權(quán)這個(gè)舊勢(shì)力的總代表。”
2004年11月18日至12月4日，在美國(guó)的“法輪功”報(bào)刊《大紀(jì)元》發(fā)表系列社論《九評(píng)共產(chǎn)黨》，其篇目包括：九評(píng)之一，評(píng)共產(chǎn)黨是什么；九評(píng)之二，評(píng)中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨是怎么起家的；九評(píng)之三，評(píng)中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨的暴政；九評(píng)之四，評(píng)共產(chǎn)黨是反宇宙的力量；九評(píng)之五，評(píng)江澤民與中共相互利用迫害法輪功；九評(píng)之六，評(píng)中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨破壞民族文化；九評(píng)之七，評(píng)中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨的殺人歷史；九評(píng)之八，評(píng)中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨的邪教本質(zhì)；九評(píng)之九，評(píng)中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨的流氓本性。這是“法輪功”邪教組織迄今為止拋出的最為系統(tǒng)的反動(dòng)政治言論，“九評(píng)”的發(fā)表更加充分暴露了法輪功的反動(dòng)政治本質(zhì)。大紀(jì)元的“公告”中明確說(shuō)：《九評(píng)共產(chǎn)黨》是“給為禍人間一個(gè)多世紀(jì)的國(guó)際共產(chǎn)主義運(yùn)動(dòng)，特別是中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨蓋棺定論”。文中毫不掩飾地說(shuō)：“世界共產(chǎn)主義運(yùn)動(dòng)早已被全世界所唾棄，中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨走入墳?zāi)挂仓皇且粋€(gè)時(shí)間問(wèn)題”。文中甚至將中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨稱之為“邪教”。文中還蠱惑說(shuō)：“我們有必要全面反思和揭露這個(gè)集古今中外邪惡之大全的最大邪教組織，讓仍舊被共產(chǎn)黨政權(quán)欺騙的人們認(rèn)清它十惡俱全的本質(zhì)，從精神上肅清共產(chǎn)黨的流毒，從心理上擺脫共產(chǎn)邪靈的控制，跳出恐懼的枷鎖，放棄對(duì)共產(chǎn)黨的一切幻想”?！毒旁u(píng)共產(chǎn)黨》通過(guò)歪曲事實(shí)直相、篡改歷史真實(shí)、利用歷史問(wèn)題等各種手段，從歷史的角度全面否定共產(chǎn)黨、否定共產(chǎn)主義運(yùn)動(dòng)，對(duì)新中國(guó)建立以來(lái)的歷史也全盤(pán)否定，甚至不顧現(xiàn)實(shí)，對(duì)改革開(kāi)放輝輝成就、累累碩果也予否定。最后，還惡毒地提出了反動(dòng)的政治口號(hào)：“沒(méi)有了中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨，才能有新中國(guó)；沒(méi)有了中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨，中國(guó)才會(huì)有希望；沒(méi)有了中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨，正義善良的中國(guó)人民一定會(huì)重塑歷史的輝煌。”大紀(jì)元還在“公告”中表示，要發(fā)表《九評(píng)共產(chǎn)黨》的續(xù)集，并與境外“法輪功”邪教組織的其他媒體如“博大新聞網(wǎng)”等聯(lián)合舉辦《九評(píng)共產(chǎn)黨》全球有獎(jiǎng)?wù)魑拇筚悺?br>
從《預(yù)言參考》到《九評(píng)共產(chǎn)黨》，讓我們看到李洪志及其“法輪功”邪教組織早已不再提“不參與政治”，而且逐步從為其參與政治以所謂“不政治”的狡辯，進(jìn)一步發(fā)展到赤裸裸地反動(dòng)政治叫罵，遮羞的面紗完全撕下來(lái)了，反動(dòng)政治叫罵的水平也在實(shí)踐中不斷提高，從零星叫罵過(guò)渡到系統(tǒng)的反動(dòng)理論。
Evolution of cult Falun Gong's doctrine
Thedoctrine of cult Falun Gong is inconsistent and logically contradictory. By analyzing its typical works such as "China Falun Gong (Revised Edition)", "Zhuan Falun", "Teaching the Fa WhileTouring North America" and "Nine Comments on CCP", it can be learnt that the doctrine of cult Falun Gong had undergone four stages, namely "Buddhist Qigong", "Falun Fofa", "three things" and "systematic anti-CCP". Focus of the doctrine was different at different stages. At the stage of "Buddhist Qigong", its focus was "spreading the Gong"; at the stage of "Falun Fofa", its focus turned to be "spreading the Fa"; at the stage of "three things", its focus shifted to "telling the truth" and things like that and; at the "systematic anti-CCP" stage, it focused on what the cult alleged as "eradicating the evil regime". Although focuses of the cult doctrine at different stage might be somewhat overlapping, the basic evolution course is quite clear. This article will therefore discuss the evolution of the doctrine of cult Falun Gong in such a clue. It is open for comments.
1. Falun Gong was not born to be cult. Li Hongzhi, founder of Falun Gong, has learnt to practice "Chanmi Gong" from Qigong master Li Weidong and "Jiugongbagua Gong" from another Qigong master Yu Guangsheng. In this sense, Falun Gong was based on Qigong, which according to Li Hongzhi, was Buddhist Qigong in the higher level. In addition, Falun Gong has registered in China Qigong Scientific Research Association as a Qigong school. In order to spread Gong, Li Hongzhi compiled a booklet "Falun Gong" with the help of others. The 15-page-booklet "Falun Gong" is about 6000 words, including three parts, namely introduction of Falun Gong, Basic ways of practicing and spiritual cultivation. In September 1992, Li Hongzhi added some more material to the booklet and renamed it "China Falun Gong". The booklet is about 13000 words. In April 1993, Li Hongzhi had "China Falun Gong" formally published by Military Yiwen Press. The book is over 80,000 words and is divided into four chapters. In December 1993, the book was republished by Military Yiwen Press with the name of "China Falun Gong (Revised Edition)" and of over 84,000 words. According to Li Hongzhi, the Revised Edition of China Falun Gong has simply revised the first edition, cut off the parts of Falun Gong Rules and Cases Manifesting the magic power of Falun Gong and added Q&As. It also changed the preface "New Realm of the Rotating Falun - Mr. Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong Founded by Him" to "An Introduction to Mr. Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong Founded by Him".
"China Falun Gong (Revised Edition)" is composed of five chapters. Chapter one is an introduction. It mainly argued that: Qigong is prehistoric culture-it "isn't something invented by this civilization"; Gong potency "is developed through the transformation of the form of substance called virtue (de), and through cultivation of character (xin-xing); practice can help to "open the third eye" for the practitioner so that he may have remote viewing ability; Qigong healing, which "eliminates the root cause of illness", is better than medical treatment and "Buddhist Qigong" is of no relation with Buddhism-"they take different paths and they are different disciplines with different requirements". In this chapter issues such as The Side-Door Awkward Ways, Martial Arts Qigong, Reverse Cultivation and Gong Borrowing, Cosmic Language and Spirit Possession are also touched upon. Chapter two is Falun Gong. It mainly argues that: "Falun" (wheel of Law) is "a miniature of the universe"; "Falun Gong is Buddhist Gong"; Falun Gong is higher level of practicing. It further introduces the characteristics in Falun Gong practicing (the law refines the practitioner, cultivating the main consciousness, doing the exercises regardless of direction and time, cultivating both spirit and body and without motif).
Chapter three is Cultivation of Character(xin-xing). It mainly talks about the meaning of character; loss and gain; cultivating truth, kindness and tolerance simultaneously; ridding yourself of jealousy and attachments; karma and eliminating karma; practicing meddling by wicked entities; a person's underlying base and awakening capacity and; a clear and still mind. Chapter four is the Falun Gong Practice System. It mainly explains the five sets of movements and their respective verses. The five sets of movements are: 1. Buddha Stretching a Thousand Arms (verses: The Mind and Body Join Together. Move or Become Still According to the Energy Mechanisms. As Tall as Heaven and Incomparably Noble. The Thousand-Armed Buddha Stands Upright.); 2. Falun Standing Stance (verses: Wisdom is Enhanced and Powers Strengthened. The Heart is Harmonized and Body Lightened. As if in a Wondrous and Enlightened State. The Falun Begins to Rise.); 3. Coursing Between the Two Poles (verses: The Body is Purified. The Law Unlocks the Top and Bottom Energy Passages. The Heart is Kind and the Will is Strong. Reaching the Zenith of Heaven and the Nadir of Earth.); 4.Falun Cosmic Orbit (verses: The Revolving Law Reaches the Void. The Heart is Clear Like Pure Jade. Returning to Your Original, True Self. You Feel Light, as if Floating.) and; 5. Reinforcing Supernatural Powers (verses: As if With Intent, Yet Without Intent. Hand Movements Follow the Energy Mechanisms. As If Empty, Yet Not Empty. Move or Become Still With Ease.) The first four sets of movement belong to "dynamical gong" and the fifth belongs to "static gong". Chapter five is Questions and Answers. It mainly gives answers to the questions of the Falun Gong practitioners about "Falun", "Falun Gong practice system", "character", "the Third Eye" and "hardship". E.g. "What does the Wheel of Law look like?", "Can we do the exercises when it thunders?", "What is a person with 'great spiritual inclination'?", "Does an open Third Eye release energy?", "How should we deal with hardships?", "Where did the original mankind come from?" It can be concluded from the content of this book that its emphasis lies in explaining the way of practice aiming to spread the Gong.
Li Hongzhi made it clear in "China Falun Gong(revised Edition)" by saying, "Getting out of the mountain, I just want to guide those who practiced Gong for many years but without any improvement to high levels so that they may be enlightened as early as possible and guide all the practitioners to high levels; and to help to clarify the bad phenomena in the Qigong community as well as from the other space so that the righteous law can be spread and Qigong may develop soundly on the right way." Therefore we can see that Li Hongzhi's "getting out of the mountain" was to promote the "sound development" of Qigong. In the first chapter of the book, Li Hongzhi said, "In China, Qigong arts have a long history that dates back to ancient times...The two upright systems of Qigong cultivation, the Buddhist system and the Daoist system, have made public many great methods of cultivation that before were taught in private. The Daoist ways of cultivation are unique, while the Buddhist system has its cultivation methods. Falun Gong is an advanced cultivation method of the Buddhist system." In this paragraph, there are two elements that deserve our attention. For the first, both Buddhism and Taoism are "upright systems of Qigong cultivation"; for the second, "Falun Gong is an advanced cultivation method of the Buddhist system." These two elements were in fact completely denied by Li Hongzhi in his "Zhuan Falun", a book published later than "China Falun Gong". This further proves that Li Hongzhi doesn't keep his words and may deny what he said before. In the appendix of the book, the Research Society of Falun Dafa introduced Li Hongzhi and Falun Gong founded by him by saying, "he sets the following principles for the creating of Falun Gong: First, Dafa shall be self-giving; second, Dafa has supernatural power; third, Dafa shall conform to truthfulness, compassion and tolerance; fourth, Dafa shall ensure absolute security in practicing...he summarized the advantages and disadvantages of various Qigong schools in the Qigong history and then integrated their souls into Falun Gong." It has already proved that the principles-- "being self-giving", "having supernatural power", conforming to "truth, compassion and forbearance" and "ensuring absolute security in practicing"--are nothing but sheer lie. On the one hand, Li Hongzhi said in the second chapter of this book that "Falun Gong is higher level Buddhist Qigong"; on the other hand, he said here that "souls of various Qigong schools are integrated into Falun Gong". Obviously they were contradictory. Not to mention such contradictions, it could be concluded from the above-mentioned argumentation that Li Hongzhi still believed that Falun Gong was a kind of Qigong and that he didn't deny Qigong but just depreciating other Qigong schools to boast Falun Gong. In Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa, Li Hongzhi said, "When our first book, China Falun Gong, was written, its contents were in some respects similar to low-level Qigong. The second book, China Falun Gong (Revised Edition), is much superior Qigong. Now I'm organizing the entire Fa that I've taught. When it's put on paper later on, it will be the Dafa that guides our true cultivation. A lot of terms will be corrected in the new book." The new book that Li Hongzhi referred to is "Zhuan Falun". In the article "Awakening is Essential for Further Advancement", Li Hongzhi also admitted, "China Falun Gong, including its revised version, is only a transitional material in the form of Qigong for people to understand at the beginning." Li Hongzhi was certainly aware of the fact that China Falun Gong (Revised Edition) is utterly different from "Zhuan Falun". He even gave explanation to the Falun Gong practitioners the discrepancy in other books.
To sum up, although Li Hongzhi decorated it with the term of "an advanced cultivation method of the Buddhist system", Falun Gong at this stage is essentially a kind of Qigong--"Buddhist Qigong", no matter in terms of social context in which Falun Gong emerged or from the content of China Falun Gong (Revised Edition) as well as from Li Hongzhi's assertion. Besides, although Li Hongzhi advocated to "cultivate both spirit and body" and talked about "improving the character", he still focused on spreading "the way of practicing" and "the essence of practicing".
2. In December 1994, the 190,000-word book "Zhuan Falun" was published by China Broadcasting Press. The book "Zhuan Falun" cut off the last two chapters in China Falun Gong (Revised Edition) and kept the first three chapters with great modification. One of the most noticeable changes in "Zhuan Falun" is that it adds a preface "On Buddha Law (Lunyu)". Besides the preface, "Zhaun Falun" is divided into nine talks. Sections such as Truly Guiding People Up to High Levels, Different Levels Have Different Laws, One Standard Alone Determines if Someone is Good or Bad: Whether He is Able to be True, Good, and Endure are organized in the first talk, highlighting its purpose of "spreading the Fa and saving people" and the fallacy: "Truth, compassion and forbearance is the nature of the universe". The first chapter of China Falun Gong (Revised Edition) is reorganized in the third talks in "Zhuan Falun" with some expansion. As for the second chapter of China Falun Gong (Revised Edition), except that the section Levels of Cultivation in Falun Gong is organized in the first talk with certain modification, other sections are expanded and organized in the fifth talk with sections such as the Qimen Practices, Buddha Image Consecration and the Subject of Sorcery. The third chapter of China Falun Gong (Revised Edition) along with sections such as Martial Arts Qigong and Qigong Healing and Hospital Healing in Chapter Two and sections such as Thought and the Falun Cosmic Orbit in Chapter Three are reorganized in the fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth talks of Zhuan Falun respectively. Many more content are added in these talks, e.g. Buddhist Anointment, Placement of the Mysterious Pass, Male-Female Dual Cultivation, Showing Off, Being Too Engrossed, On Killing, On Eating Meat, Bigu Fasting, Stealing Qi, Gathering Qi, Qigong and Athletics.
All the above-mentioned changes cannot indicate any great changes. The more revealing fact lies in its modification in its contents. On Buddha Law is indeed a queer writing that indicates certain essential change. The preface "On Buddha Law" (the Chinese term Lunyu is in fact a piracy of The Analects of Confucius) defines Falun Gong as "Buddha Law" instead of the term "Buddhist Qigong" as in China Falun Gong (Revised Edition). It claims in the article, "Nothing is as profound as Buddha Law. Of all teachings in the world it is the most wondrous and highest science...there is nothing that Buddha Law cannot explain - it thoroughly unravels all mysteries, from those of particles and molecules to those of the universe, from small things to great things. It is a different discourse at different levels on the nature of the universe - to be True, Good, and Endure - at different levels, what Daoists call 'the Dao', or what Buddhists call 'the Law'... Buddha Law can allow people to thoroughly understand immeasurable, boundless worlds. Throughout all the ages, only one thing has been able to explain perfectly the human race, the many material dimensions that exist, all life, and the entire universe: Buddha Law." On many occasions, Li Hongzhi depreciated Buddhism in boasting "Zhuan Falun". In "On Buddha Law", he said, "Buddha Law is not limited to the little portion in scriptures, which is only Buddha Law's initial-level Law." In "Zhuan Falun", he further said, "Buddhism's Law doesn't cover the entire Buddha Law - it's just a tiny little part of Buddha Law." In "Zhuan Falun (Volume II)", there are even more words that depreciated Buddhism. For instance, "Buddhist dissertations are only one of the smallest parts of Buddha law", "Lessons from Buddhism", "Zen Goes to Extreme" and other articles directly defamed and depreciated Buddhism. Li Hongzhi even collected his "scriptures" and compiled the book "Falun Fofa Scriptures". In the book，there are many articles that defamed and depreciated Buddhism. For instance, in "the Buddha Law and Buddhism", he said, "Buddhism cannot represent the entire Buddha Law....It is the mighty Buddha Law that creates Buddhas, and not Buddha Sakyamuni that created the Buddha Law. Buddha Sakyamuni perceived the Buddha Law，enlightened up to the level of his Attainment Status...How different is modern Buddhism from Brahmanism in its later period? " Since Li Hongzhi has said on many occasions that Brahmanism in its later period tended to be a cult, here by comparing modern Buddhism to Brahmanism in its later period, he just indicated that modern Buddhism was also tend to be a cult. In fact, the kind of Buddhism that Li Hongzhi knew was not upright Buddhism but "True Buddha School" founded by Sheng-yen Lu. Sheng-yen Lu, a Taiwanese Buddhist who claimed himself as "Living Buddha Lian-shen" and "Grand Master", founded "True Buddha School" in 1971 and migrated to Seattle of US in 1980s'. He has written more than 100 books such as Ling Xian True Buddha, The World of Spirit, The world of the Third Eye, The Ling Xian Rainbow Practice, The Mahamudra Guide Book and The Super-sensory Capabilities of Souls. True Buddha School has more than 300 branches around the world with more than two million followers. When Li Hongzhi paid a visit to his sister Li Ping in Thailand, he got to know True Buddha School and assimilate from it many terms such as the "third eye" and "large hand signs". In fact, True Buddha School is not Buddhism but "side-door fringe ways" according to real Buddhists. Since Li Hongzhi himself said that he did not read Sutra, he certainly had no right to comment on Buddhism, but he just ran off at the mouth and defamed Buddhism discretionarily with an aim of boasting "Falun Fofa". Li Hongzhi said in "Zhuan Falun", "whether we're talking about inside China or abroad, I'm the only one who's really transmitting a practice that takes you to higher levels...Right now I'm the only person in the world who is publicly spreading a true teaching. I have done something that's never been done by anyone before, and I've made this available to everyone during the Age of the Law's End...I've unveiled a mystery of the ages, the secret of secrets that absolutely couldn't be told, I've revealed the inside story of all the different cultivation ways in history...If I can't save you nobody can." In the article "Buddha Law and Buddhism"(the book "Falun Fofa Lections"), Li Hongzhi said, "Now I come to the world once again to teach the Fa-- the fundamental law of the universe." In the article "Dafa Can Never be Plagiarized", he said, "My disciples! I have been repeatedly saying that imparting Dafa to human beings is already the greatest mercy to them. This is something unprecedented in billions of years!" In "Zhuan Falun (Volume II)", Li Hongzhi said, "The Teachings in Buddhism are the Weakest and Tiniest Portion of the Buddha Fa...Falun Dafa has for the first time throughout the ages provided the nature of the universe - the Buddha Fa - to human beings; this amounts to providing them a ladder to ascend to heaven." In "Falun Fofa: Teaching the Fa in Sydney", Li Hongzhi said, "I have done something nobody did in the past, and I have opened a big door. I have done something even greater. That is, I have made public all the principles of cultivation practice as well as the elements for completing cultivation. In addition, I have talked about it very systematically. This is why the gods at very high levels have said, "You have left man a ladder to heaven-- Zhuan Falun." In the article "Awakening in Essentials for Further Advancement", Li Hongzhi said, "this book of Fa represents the nature of the universe and is the true manifestation of the mighty Buddha Law. It is what I originally had - that which I recalled after attaining Enlightenment through cultivation practice. I then made it public in ordinary human language, and I taught it to you as well as to those in heavens, thereby rectifying the universe with the Fa." In many other Fa Teaching Conferences such as in Changchun, Singapore, Europe, USA, Switzerland, Sydney, New Zealand, Li Hongzhi didn't ever mention "Buddhist Qigong" but "Falun Fofa".
As for Li Hongzhi, Zhuan Falun should be the most important scripture compared with other Falun scriptures. The term "taking Fa as your master" appeared in "Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa" means taking "Zhuan Falun" as their master. In "Zhuan Falun", Li Hongzhi said, "What's inside this book of mine combines the Law I taught in several classes. All of it is my words, every sentence is my words, and they were transcribed from the tape recordings word by word, and copied down word by word. It was done with the help of my disciples and students. They transcribed my words from the recordings, and then I revised the book over and over again. All of this is my Law - what I teach is just this one Law."
In "Essentials for Further Advancement", Li Hongzhi said, "The book Zhuan Falun was finally published after three revisions made by me...This book of Fa is not only learnt by human beings. It is learnt by wider and higher existence as the universal nature is indeed departed in the greater celestial bodies." In "Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa", Li Hongzhi said, "no matter how many more scriptures we publish, they are merely supplementary materials to Zhuan Falun. Only Zhuan Falun can truly guide your cultivation. It contains inner meanings that go from the level of ordinary people to incomparable heights. As long as you continue to cultivate, Zhuan Falun will always guide your elevation in cultivation." In "Zhuan Falun Fajie", Li Hongzhi said, "Now the third book Zhuan Falun is published. It is the book that guides us cultivating." After "Zhuan Falun" was published, Li Hongzhi emphasized the importance of "studying the Fa", especially of studying "Zhuan Falun". In "Zhuan Falun Fajie", Li Hongzhi said, "At the same time, if you want to grasp this Fa well - and I would say that you have to have a thorough understanding of this book and this Fa - you need to study the Fa. You shouldn't just do the movements. If you do the movements all day and forget everything that the Teacher said, then you won't be able to cultivate. What would be there to guide you? So you should all read the book a lot, study the Fa and read the book like you do the movements daily, and read the book every day. Only then can you be guided to be a good person, only then will your character improve through cultivation, and only then will your Gong increase...If you want to cultivate, you have to study this Fa well. Our Falun Dafa's book, Zhuan Falun, has been published. It's based entirely on the content of my lectures and is presented in full. So you can rely on this book for cultivation in our school." In "Falun Fofa: Teaching the Fa at the Conference in Europe", Li Hongzhi said, "A book is simply black ink on white paper. I'll know what it's about after I read it once. Every book in human society is like that since they're limited to merely superficial knowledge and they lack any inner meaning; you know what they're about after giving them just one read. Yet this book is different, as it provides guidance for people's cultivation. If you want to improve yourselves in this Fa, you have to keep reading the book. Only then can it guide your cultivation." Many lections in "Essentials for Further Advancement" talked about "learning the Fa", e.g. "Broad and Immense", "learning the Fa", "what is wisdom", "Correction", "Awakening" and "Handling Handwritten Copies of Scriptures". In "Seeking Discipleship with Teacher", Li Hongzhi said, "A person who truly cultivates will gain things naturally without pursuing them. All of the Gong and Fa lie in the book, and one will naturally obtain them by reading Dafa. Those who learn it will change automatically, and they will already immerse in the Dao when they read the book over and over again.
3. After the book "Zhuan Falun" was published, everything should have been clear and there should not be new "Fa". Li Hongzhi should therefore teach the Fa within the frame of "Zhuan Falun" and any new doctrines should be regarded as "evil Fa"--just as Li Hongzhi himself said in "Teaching the Fa at the Close of the Falun Dafa Conference", "I have already taught you My Fa thoroughly and in-depth. If I go on teaching, it will not do any help but interference...but I just want to tell you all that 'Zhuan Falun' can really help you in your cultivating. Other books are just complementary to 'Zhuan Falun'. Therefore we should cultivate in the guidance of the book 'Zhuan Falun'. " Since the Chinese government had banned on Falun Gong and judged it as a cult based on the facts, Li Hongzhi had kept silent for a period of time. But some time later, he started to preach the Fa. The Fa that Li Hongzhi preached this time however, is different from the previously ones. This time he proposed "three things", namely "studying the Fa", "telling the truth" and "sending forth righteous thoughts". Now let's analyze how Li Hongzhi carried out his "three things" and what he said about them.
The first time when Li Hongzhi began to talk about the "three things" is on December 29, 2001 on "Teaching Fa at the Fa Conference in Florida, USA", on which occasion he said, "I think these three things are all I'll talk about. One is your Fa-study, one is sending forth righteous thoughts, and the other is about why clarifying the truth is extremely important." Before that, the "three things" have been mentioned on certain occasions. This time, Li Hongzhi talked about all of the three things in detail with a focus on "telling the truth". As mentioned above, "studying the Fa" has been highlighted on any possible occasion since the publishing of "Zhuan Falun". "Telling the truth" was first mentioned in the lection "Digging out the Root" that was published on July 6, 1996, in which Li Hongzhi said that "collectively presenting facts to someone" is "one of the numerous forms of existence that Dafa gives to mankind at the lowest level", considering that "under extremely special circumstances, however, Dafa disciples adopted that approach from the Fa at the lowest level is an act that harmonized the Fa at the level of mankind" which should be recognized. In the lection "Stability" that was published on June 13, 1999, Li Hongzhi said, "With regard to the information the students have on how the relevant regions or the relevant departments have directly or covertly interfered with and disrupted Falun Gong students' practicing, and with regard to the situation in which some people used their power to stir up a Falun Gong 'incident', to put a broad segment of the people and government in opposition to one another, and to thereby gain politically, the students can report these cases through the normal channels to different levels of the government or to the country's leaders." In fact, by saying that Li Hongzhi affirmed and supported Falun Gong members illegal besiegement of local governments, media and even central government. In the lection "Local Dafa Societies" that was published on July 20, 2000, Li Hongzhi said, "it is certainly upright to appeal to the Chinese government our real situation in peaceful means...In one year's time, you have done nothing wrong in telling the people and the government the truth and appealing to them...I hope that in the future you shall not ignore the importance of studying Fa during the time you tell the truth and appeal to the government." In the lection "Sense" that was published in August 2000, Li Hongzhi asked the Falun Gong practitioners to "validate the Fa with sense; clarify the truth with wisdom and; spread the Fa and save people in mercy." In the lection "Serious Edification" that was published in September 24, 2000, Li Hongzhi asked the "Dafa disciples" in very severe tone to "get out", "validate the Fa in Beijing" and "clarify the truth among the people" regardless of the danger. In the lection "Suffocate the Evil" that was published in October 21, 2000, Li Hongzhi said, "All of the students who are clarifying the truth today in order to validate Dafa have done really well. I have thoroughly affirmed this."
"What they have done is absolutely correct--there's no doubt about this." On December 9, 2000, Li Hongzhi delivered "Teaching the Fa at the Great Lakes Fa Conference in North America", in the lection, Li Hongzhi talked about "telling the truth" in details. He said, "Whether your going to Tiananmen, your clarifying the truth to people in other environments, or your spreading the Fa and exposing the truth about the evil to people outside China, it's all magnificent, because you are one entity."
It was in 2001 that "Sending righteous thought" appeared. In the New-Year's day, 2001, Li Honngzhi published a lection "Beyond the Limits of Forbearance". In this lection, he said, "If the evil has already been beyond redemption, then various measures at different levels can be used to stop it and eradicate it...Eradicating the evil is for rectifying the Fa instead of merely an issue on cultivation." At that time, Li Hongzhi didn't indicate to stop and eradicate "evil" by means of "sending forth righteous thoughts". Since the problem was pointed out, Li Hongzhi had to arrive at a good solution. Finally he got an idea of stopping and eradicating the evil by means of "sending forth righteous thoughts". On April 24, 2001, Li Hongzhi published a lection "Dafa Disciples' Righteous Thoughts are Powerful". In this lection, Li Hongzhi said, "The evil beings are being destroyed in large numbers in the Three Realms and the human world...And the overall situation that has appeared, in which Dafa is persecuted in the human world, is caused by the large-scale, severe occurrence of these students being persecuted because they have attachments...Why should you, a Dafa disciple, fear the evil ones when enduring persecution? The crux of the matter is that you have attachments. If not, do not endure passively, and face the evil people with righteous thoughts at all times...Actually, every Dafa disciple has abilities. It's just that the abilities do not manifest in the surface dimension, so they think that they don't have supernormal abilities. But no matter whether they can manifest in the surface dimension or not, when a person's True Thoughts come forth they are very powerful." This is the first lection of Li Hongzhi that mentioned "sending for the righteous thoughts". Later, Minghui Net published articles such as Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts, Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts Again, Sending Forth Righteous Thoughts for the Third Time, and Eradicating the Evil to fuel the ridiculous "sending forth righteous thought". When Li Hongzhi's book "Teaching the Fa in the Canadian Fa Conference" was published, many Falun Gong practitioners asked about the gesture of "sending forth righteous thoughts", whether there was any difference between male practitioners and female practitioners, whether they should use lotus flower palm and whether they should put the palms together when the process was over. With the approval of Li Hongzhi, Minghui Net published a photo about Li Hongzhi "sending forth righteous thoughts" and explained: single up palm with the right hand; no difference between male practitioners and female practitioners; no restriction on lotus flower palm; no need to put the palms together when the process was over. Li Hongzhi further required that since June 10 that year "Dafa disciples around the world should collectively send forth righteous thoughts once a week in the set time to eradicate the evils in the three realms that disrupted Dafa." The set time is at 5, 6 and 7 o'clock on each Sunday for five minutes. On July 16, 2001, Li Hongzhi published the lection "The Effect of Righteous Thoughts". In this lection, Li Hongzhi fabricated many stories to encourage the Falun Gong practitioners "sending forth righteous thoughts".He said, "At present, the places where the evil is able to do bad things, though, are places that have not been reached by the Fa-rectification's massive changing-force. These are exactly the places where Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts take effect...The effect you've had eliminating the evil with righteous thoughts is truly significant. A great number of evil beings have been eliminated, and some have been partially eliminated. This has knocked the life out of them, has eradicated the evil in many dimensions not yet reached by the Fa-rectification, and has had the effect of eliminating and frightening the evil persons."
In April 2002, Li Hongzhi delivered "Teaching the Fa while Touring North America"，in which he systematically explained on "the three things" . In its summary, Li Hongzhi said, "At present there are three major tasks: the first one is to give priority to Fa-study so as to better understand Fa and rectify Fa; the second one is telling the truth so as to have the public better understand Dafa; the third one is sending righteous thoughts so as to eradicate the evil by means of righteous thoughts. The task of rectifying Fa should not be done all by the Master as the Dafa disciples must act to destroy the old Fa as well. " In this lection, Li Hongzhi said, "I'll mainly talk about three things. The first one is that everyone should make a priority of Fa-study...The second thing is that we need to make a priority of clarifying the truth... The third thing is your sending forth righteous thoughts." Li Hongzhi added, "It is extremely important for every Dafa disciple to study the Fa well." Here he changed his previous assertion that "studying the Fa" are just for the aim of improving "the character", "level" and for "consummation", and relating "studying Fa" with "the celestial body" represented by the practitioner and saving the people in the celestial body. In this way, "personal consummation" in "studying the Fa" was diverted to "saving the people". What Li Hongzhi emphasized in this lection is "clarifying the truth", saying "You need to know that clarifying the truth is extremely important for Dafa disciples. You aren't just doing personal cultivation--your own cultivation is saving the beings in the gigantic cosmic bodies that you represent. When you clarify the truth you are saving even more and even larger additional cosmic bodies and the beings in those cosmic bodies, because this is the responsibility Dafa and history have bestowed upon you." Li Hongzhi modified his assertion on "telling the truth" as well to make it related to "saving the people". He further talked about the ways of "telling the truth", saying, "passing out flyers, making phone calls, using the Internet, going to the consulates, and using all different forms of media to tell the world's people the truth about Dafa and to expose the evil's persecution." About "sending forth righteous thoughts", Li Hongzhi said, "Sending forth righteous thoughts is another really magnificent thing for our Dafa disciples." He regarded "sending forth righteous thoughts" as the most effective means of "eradicating the evil", for which he fabricated a story, "Remember when you first started to send forth righteous thoughts? Those evil beings that were persecuting Dafa disciples came over immediately, lining up in formation and beating their drums. Through sending forth righteous thoughts for a period of time, you have cleaned out large quantities of those evil factors. Now when you send forth righteous thoughts, your Gong has to search all over for those evil things. As soon as Dafa disciples hold their palms erect they flee. Dafa disciples are able to righteously look the evil people straight in the eyes, and the evil people immediately try to avoid eye contact. That's because the righteous thoughts scare off the evil beings that manipulate the evil people, since they know that if they flee just a bit too slowly they'll be instantly eliminated by Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts. That's why the evil is now constantly contracting itself around where the evil is concentrated in China. The evil factors that are controlling people's minds in other parts of the world are in the final stage of being eliminated."
In a word, among the three things, "Studying Fa" has being often talked about, while "clarifying the truth" and "sending forth righteous thoughts" was newly created. In addition, content of "studying Fa" and "clarifying the truth" has been changed fundamentally--from personal "consummation" to "save the people". If "Dafa has already been taught"--just as Li Hongzhi claimed, there should not be any other Fa except for "Zhuan Falun". Does "the three things", that are obviously different from "Zhuan Falun", the "evil Fa"?!
4. While Li Hongzhi said that he "would not get involved in politics",but the cult Falun Gong didn't keep it away from politics. In Fact it got more and more deeply involved in politics and increasingly displayed its retroactive nature, which could be fully manifested in their activities ranging from besieging news media and government bodies to publicly publishing articles cursing others. In 2000, Li Hongzhi published a series of "lections" denouncing CCP overtly. In the article "In Reference to a Prophecy" that was published on June 28, 2000, Li Hongzhi said, "a few people with ulterior motives in the Central Committee of the CCP using their power to initiate a comprehensive, vicious suppression of Dafa and Dafa disciples. They have arrested people, beaten people, sent people to labor camps, sentenced people to jail, and destroyed the books; they have used the army, the police, secret agents, and diplomatic means; and they have used all radio stations, television stations, and the press to spread lies and carry out the persecution in a villainous fashion. Its overwhelming magnitude seems to threaten and bring down the heavens, while their evilness has spread throughout the entire world." In the lections such as Towards Consummation, Eliminating Your Last Attachments, Sober Edification, Eliminating the Evil, and articles such as Speech at the Western U.S. Fa Conference and Teaching the Fa at the Great Lakes Fa Conference in North America, Li Hongzhi overtly instigated Falun Gong practitioners to act against CCP and its governments despite the pressure and the concept of life and death--to "disclose the evil", "restrain the evil" and "eliminate the evil". In the lection "Beyond the Limits of Forbearance" that was published on January 1, 2001, Li Hongzhi said, "If the evil has already been beyond redemption, then various measures at different levels can be used to stop it and eradicate it." Li Hongzi also argued for Falun Gong's getting involved in politics. In the lection "No Politics" that was published on June 4, 2001, Li Hongzhi said, "as for those upright resisters who are against evil regimes wrecking the country and ruining the people, they are not for politics but saving the people of this world" and "saving sentient beings". By this, he meant that the retroactive political activities conducted by the Falun Gong cult were not "political".
In "Deciphering the Last Three Stanzas of the Plum Blossom Poem" that was published on July 4, 2001, Li Hongzhi took off the mask that covered their retroactive political activities. In this lection, Li Hongzhi misinterpreted the Plum Blossom Poem, saying "Ten years ago, the game had already come to the point of defeat for the side of the wicked communist regimes...Ninety percent of its countries abandoned the evil communism. And that truly spelled imminent disaster for the evil Communist Party... The communist system has disintegrated, but on the surface its skin remains, and the Chinese government has inherited it... Their specific purpose is to use the superficial form of the malevolent CCP to keep hold of power...No matter how beautiful the 'best autumn scenery' is (which is also the party's final moment), autumn scenery naturally doesn't last long"..."In the lowest dimension of the heavens, CCP 'manifests as an evil red dragon..." In Bible, red dragon refers to Satan. In this lection, Li Hongzhi overtly cursed CCP.
In "Teaching Fa at the Fa Conference in Florida U.S.A.", that was published on December 29, 2001, Li Hongzhi said, "You said that that Party has to defeat Falun Gong. But how could Gods allow that? How could the CCP defeat the Law of the cosmos? If you fight with it, you will collapse." In "Teaching the Fa at the 2002 Fa Conference in Boston" that was published on April 27, 2002, Li Hongzhi said, "They have such a powerful state propaganda machine, they have consulates all over the world, and they have such an enormous army. What we face is an evil political gang of scoundrels like that who want to suppress us." In "Teaching the Fa at the 2003 Midwest--U.S. Fa Conference" that was published on June 22, 2003, Li Hongzhi ran riot in denouncing CCP, saying, "The Party has never admitted any of its faults to the people...Isn't the government awful? Shouldn't the government be eradicated?" Li Hongzhi went on his absurd argumentation by using the historic issues, saying, "Half of the Chinese people have been persecuted by the Party. Before the Party's political power was established, as you know, a lot of wealthy people had their homes ransacked and their property divided up, and they were even executed or sent off to prison. The 'Campaign to Suppress Counterrevolutionaries', the 'Three Oppositions and Five Oppositions', the 'Campaign to Eliminate Counterrevolutionaries', the 'Cultural Revolution'--it persecuted a great number of Chinese people in these many movements. So when it's all added up, more than half of the Chinese people have been subject to various forms of persecution." Finally, Li Hongzhi brazenly and ferociously instigated the Falun Gong practitioners by saying, "Is there any reason for the party and its regime to exist? How should you eradicate such an evil old force with your own efforts? We shall eradicate party and its regime-- the general representative of the old forces if we hope to maintain our Fa."
From November 18 to December 4 in 2004, US based Falun Gong medium Epoch Times published a series of editorial "Nine Comments on CCP", including the first comment--What is CCP; the second comment--how did CCP rose up; the third comment--on CCP's despotic rule; the fourth comment--on CCP's force in counter against the universe; the fifth comment--Jiang Zemin and CCP using each other in prosecuting Falun Gong; the sixth comment--on CCP disrupting national culture; the seventh comment--on the history of CPP's slaughter; the eighth comment--on the cult nature of CCP and; the ninth comment--on the ganger's nature of CCP. Nine Comments on CCP is the most systematic retroactive political argumentation delivered by the Falun Gong cult organization. It more exhaustedly revealed the retroactive political nature of Falun Gong. Epoch Times clearly stated in its "announcement", "Nine Comments on CCP is a final judgment on international communism movement that has endangered the world for more than one century and in particular the Chinese Communist Party." The article stated overtly, "the global communist movement has long been spurned worldwide and CCP's going to its tomb is just an issue of time." The article even judged CCP as "cult", it instigated, "we need to comprehensively reflect and reveal the biggest cult organization that bears all evils in the world and through out the history, so that people that are still deceived by CCP can recognize its evil nature, clear CCP's baneful influence on their spirit, cast off the control of CCP over them psychologically and finally abandon their fantasy over CCP." By means such as distorting the real fact, tampering with the history and making use of historical issues, "Nine Comments on CCP" completely denied CCP and communist movement in a historic view. It even denied the history since China's liberation, especially the brilliant achievement and flourish China has made since the reforming and opening up. In conclusion, the article proposed its retroactive political slogan, "only if there is no CCP, there will be a new China; only if there is no CCP, there will be some hope for China; if there is no CCP, righteous and kind Chinese people will certainly restore historic refulgence." Epoch Times even indicated in its "announcement" that it would publish sequel of Nine Comments on CCP. It has also jointly held global article contest about Nine Comments on CCP with other media such as Boxun Net as well.
From "In Reference to a Prophecy" to "Nine Comments on CCP", Li Hongzhi and his Falun Gong cult organization abandoned their assertion of "no politics". They gradually developed from chicanery for their involving in politics in betraying their assertion of no politics to overtly having retroactive political denouncing and cursing. As their masks was taken off, their retroactive political barking got improved and developed from fragmentary barking to systematical retroactive theory.
